| - Uniburger is an In-n-Out knockoff - from the color scheme and menu, to the way the food is served.
As for the burger it self, it too is a copy of In-n-Out. It does come quite close, I have to say. You can add more things to your burger than at In-n-Out and to my knowledge, there is no 'secret menu' like how there is in the US counterpart.
The patty that I ate was fresh and their special sauce is very similar to In-n-Out's sauce.
As for the fries, they are different than the In-n-Out fries, but not in a bad way. The ones I had were freshly made so were warm and crispy. They would be perfect with a side of mayo. However, true to In-n-Out, there were only very small paper ketchup holders and a ketchup pump.
As for the greasy-factor - my fries were a little greasier than In-n-Out fries - maybe just this fresh batch. The burger was medium greasy - just greasy enough for it to be good (not too dry, not too wet).
When you go to Uniburger, you order first, take your receipt, and wait for your order to come out, just like at In-n-Out. Then it arrives in a metal tray - burger half wrapped in paper, and fries in a little paper basket. Similar in presentation to In-n-Out, but in In-n-Out there is a red plastic tray/holder.
You can leave with your take out, or sit down in the fast food-y booths/tables to enjoy it warm and fresh. I recommend that. You'll eat it quickly and want to have another one. Maybe just order 2 burgers to save yourself an additional wait.
They have milkshakes too. I did not have one, so cannot comment. Likely I'll try one in the future.
So yes - Uniburger comes close to In-n-Out, but is not quite the same. It's like a really good imitation Louis Vuitton bag - you notice the differences if you are a fashionista and/or look closely. Function wise - a good looking bag is a good looking bag - just like a good burger & fries is a good burger & fries. Yes, I'll be coming back. Yes, I like it a lot.
